In the Ear? Really???

i guess i get to shoot a lot, but having the right equipment makes all the difference. being able to see pigs when they're not expecting it helps.

just hitting stuff at long range isn't the hard part. it's hitting it on the first shot.

what happened to packman? hope he's not having flashbacks from saigon. me tink he bookoo dinky dau.
 
James,
You missed a great opportunity to treat yourself to an interesting night. If your wife thought you were on a porn site because of the grin, you should have quickly minimized the LRH thread and muttered something about " I can believe she was doing that to him". Seems to make women insecure, especially if you avoid talking about it the rest of the evening. Just kind of shrug it off and evade any questions. By time for bed, she'll be so insecure about what was going on that you might be in for a real treat while she tries to figure out what the girl was doing to the guy.....ROFLMAO....:D

Mr. Jones,
I did comment with a "nice shot" after you posted the video. I would have been more impressed with it if you hadn't backed the camera back from telescopic to Micro, but I saw the shine from the sun hitting your truck about 200 yards to the right as you backed the camera up. I only brought up the truck to avoid embarrassing you in front of the other 2 people who watch your thread. Besides, with my Springfield SM, it's a pretty common shot, once you get scoped in. Well, it used to be, before my eyes went on strike.

Also in regard to your photo, I hate to disappoint you, but you couldn't pass the physical I require of my partners.

I did tell my brother I needed photo's, that I was losing creditability and he just laughed and said that knowing me, I had done that before I ever got on the site. Knows me too well. if it had been a spectacular Golf shot, he wouldn't have forgotten!

I guess it's a matter of priorities. I like hunting hogs, he likes golf. I had to call him to ask about the hunt with the NVD's, but he called me a while back to brag about just breaking 80. Hell, I'd done that years ago, but I did do better on the 2nd hole.

Anyway: For the shot! .......................... applause.gif

I no numbah 10....no dinky Dau....No Saigon...Pleiku

Just got busy for a change this morning. Been meaning to ask, are you the same David Jones that go thrown out of Texas A&M while majoring in animal husbandry?...Well at least til they caught him at it.....:D

Did you become King of the Hog Hunters after a pig Squealed on you?

In all honesty, you have no idea how much I envy you having something with an all year open season. I picked up a little book from the Arizona Game Department the other day at the sporting goods store and believe it or not, there is a bag limit on LIZARDS! Must have a full hunting license and the bag limit is 2 per year between 6-10" long. Once they grow over 10" they must be released back into the wild if they have been kept alive. I don't know how they had been kept alive after several shots of 12 Ga., #6 shot, the way we have been hunting them. Also screws up the publication of my new book "Stalking the Feral Rock Lizard". Now on hold indefinitely.

In addition, thee are 3 species of Rattlesnake we are not allowed to kill, maim or molest. One of these is the famed Reverse Diamondback which has the diamonds on its back 3 mm longer longitudinally rather than transversely. Again, before you can Kill, maim or molest, including capture, you must measure the diamond pattern to determine if this is one of the rare ones. The fine is $500.00 per occurrence! I can see it now, Hold still and don't bite while I measure you, little rattle snake!

I'd move to Texas, but finally found out that Packrats are NOT a protected species in Texas.....:rolleyes:

Anyway, am back!

holy crap!!! have we met??? i actually didn't get kicked out, just put on conduct probation for one semester.


bag limit 2 lizards?? a couple 10 inchers don't sound like they'll go very far even if you kept the hams and shoulders
 
OK, this is really getting good. now!!

by the way, where can a guy sign up to clobber these pigs? I've never been pig hunting. gun)
 
The real problem is finding someone to stuff and mount the trophy's. Sure saves on wall space when you can put 12 lizard trophies where only one Hog head was before. But if a game warden comes by, am going to have to tell him those trophies go back 26 years at only 2 allowed per year.

Looks like we are back to grasshoppers with .22 bird shot. At least until someone finds out that we are hunting Grasshoppers, then some environmentalist will write a regulation and that's that!

We don't eat the lizards, just the BIG rattlers...Really tasty, and I particularly like the ribs....:)

What are you doing home and answering these bits of flotsam and jetsam we keep throwing at each other. No fields to plant? The kids are home from school so you can't plow any furrows? No bales to shuck or whatever you do with them?

Oh, don't tell me, you got one of them new fangled contraptions where you can do all this while driving the cultivator or whatever around the fields 60 miles from home? Shouldn't you be out fertilizing something except this thread?

Well, don't expect me to answer immediately, this is only my 2nd computer and it's firmly attached to my desk so if I'm not at at the desk, i can't get posts or emails...There is some privacy left in my world. My first computer was an abacus. But in all fairness, it was a top of the line abacus!

Your comments about getting older kind of hit a resonant chord so will post a little poem from Dr. Zeuss to cheer you up:

I cannot see
I cannot pee
I cannot chew
i cannot Scr*w
Oh my god, what can i do?
My memory shrinks,
My hearing stinks
No sense of smell
I look like hell
my mood is bad, or can you tell?
My body's drooping
have trouble pooping
The golden years have come at last
The golden years can kiss my A**.

Later

Packrat!
 
brewsky - dunno where the line starts to whack hogs. there aren't anymore in texas. it's as if someone came in and kilt all of em. ive resorted to shooting billy goats and stray dogs.


pack - i keep a puter in the hay wagon and pick up the wi-fi signal ever time i pass by the chicken coop. that's when i get to bang a few keys, if im not pitchin a lil woo.

soon, however, i'll be back in the badlands not to be seen or heard from for days. mite come back with pics if i'm lucky.
 
"soon, however, i'll be back in the badlands not to be seen or heard from for days. mite come back with pics if i'm lucky."

Well, if YOU can't come back, send the pictures. Really not sure if you are a dedicated hunter, a frustrated Photographer or just engaging in self promotion for your advertising campaign.

Shouldn't have to tell you this, but will give you the same instructions I give the grand kids before they go to camp. Keep up with your personal hygiene. Change your shirt every 3 to 5 days, wash up at least once a week and change your underwear before they accumulate more skid marks than a freeway accident......:D

Have a nice trip! going to be boring around here for a while.

while digging around in the bed of the truck, i couldn't help but feel eyes on my back. with tire tool in hand, i whirled around just in time to catch this monster lunging at me. in one motion i dodged the head and swung the tire wrench, burying it deep in his throat. somersaulting over him, i pinned my knee in the back of his neck and used the t-wrench to choke him out.

Gonna have to put on my waders, its starting to get really, really deep around here! That Hog must be a crossbreed with a Texas longhorn. I see a little more than a little bull there!

Let me guess, the rifle alongside him was There so you could use the barrel as a lever to prop up his head to get the cross wrench under his head...Hmmmmmm,..... yep, ....Sure!

And I thought ripping out their teeth and stabbing them to death with their own teeth was out there. Say you haven't been dipping into the Denatured Alcohol again have you? Thought we broke you of that! :D

I thought you was disappearing into the brush! ****, there goes the neighborhood again.

Nice sized hog though!

Thank god you are an avid follower of Chuck Norris or the results could have been devastating. I heard he's from Texas also, so perhaps there's some innate ability due to the earths magnetic core and the rotation of the earth that allows ninja-like reflexes and near superhuman perceptual awareness that safeguards you all from feral pigs and poorly written tv criminals. Or perhaps a secret Texan inoculation program that fuses jaguar dna with all babies born there. No wonder pigs have evolved down there to the size of a Chevy which makes your head look so small in all those photoshop... Er...Photos. :D
 
Packrat 12/15/14: Heck, before long you'll probably be running them down on foot, ripping the tusks out of their mouths and stabbing em to death, two or three hogs at a time...

Well, looks like it finally happened. Bad enough that he has either started smoking something that isn't legal in Texas or is snorting Milo dust instead of snuff. Talk about prophesy...Finally flipped out. This, from the self proclaimed King of Hog Hunters, the guy who is a legend in his own mind, the man who's wedding march was "There'll never be another Ewe", so sad. ...:D

James,
We're going to have to treat him much more gently from here on out and not comment on the fact that we've seen that same hog in 14 other posted pictures.

BTW, have you noticed that this thread has had over 10,000 views? Wonder if LRH does like You Tube and after a certain number of hits starts sending out checks? Will have to start watching my mail box! If we can keep him posting pictures, even fabricated ones, we can milk this out for a while.....LOL

Darn, got Coy Franks Logo by mistake!
 
Pack... Wow... I had not noticed. I always just come check because you both make me laugh and the day I can't do that... Well, it's time to hang my hat for good.

David....

A+++ on the hog.... B- on the story. Next time we need a little more backfill on the hog. I mean character development is what really gets a guy invested in a story! Perhaps he grew up on the mean streets of Juarez... Developed an addiction to Monsanto soy, you know... Roll with it man!

Good luck out in the Dakotas!
